Major,

First, check with the seller. Does he/she have a good feedback 
rating? Chances are if the feedback is substantial and positive then 
the seller will work with you, for example, rebating the cost of a 
repair.

I had the same thing happen with an M3 and the seller rebated me the 
price of a focus adjustment.


>PS, What is the best place in the North East for an M3 repair?

Others have already answered this.
